Location is critical to your captive’s success. Marsh’s captive professionals can recommend the most appropriate domicile, working with you to evaluate your business goals, as well as your potential domiciles’ infrastructure, tax structures, and treaties. Once you have selected a domicile, a designated team led by our captive management professionals guides the process, from incorporation to active day-to-day management.

Green Island Reinsurance Treaty

Green Island Reinsurance Treaty (Pooling Programs)

Green Island Reinsurance Treaty, established by Marsh in 1997 is a reinsurance pooling facility that enables participating captives to share their primary casualty or workers' compensation loss experience by transferring a portion of their risk in exchange for assuming the risks of other participants.

Potential advantages of participating in Green Island include:

Reduction in the variability of loss costs.

Ability to diversify a captive's (or cell's) underwriting portfolio.

Low frictional costs with no additional capital or surplus required if risk is currently written by the captive.

Source of unrelated premium for a captive (or cell) to help support insurance company tax treatment.

Companies participating in Mangrove PCC are insulated from the loss experience, liabilities, and credit risks of other participants. Consequently, participants can avoid potential costs, such as additional premium requirements or capital outlays that could arise in group captive arrangements when other participating firms have poor loss experience or more volatile risk profiles.
